Description

A 19th century miniature Beard Patent frame. This is wonderful with dolphins at the bottom and birds at the top corners, super detail and in lovely used condition commensurate with age. The frame has an earlier silhouette of Johannes Lang. The frame still has all the original fixing clips within the frame and what appears to be the original glass. I have left the Silhouette out of the frame to preserve it.

Richard Beard was a coal merchant.

Date of Manufacture

Digby Antiques (Wiltshire) has dated this Antique Silhouette Frame to the 19th Century.

FAQs

A silhouette is a profile portrait cut from dark paper or painted onto a pale ground, popularised before the advent of photography as an accessible form of likeness.

Nineteenth-century frames often combined cast brass or bronze ornamentation with ebonised wooden panels and protective glass glazing.

Authentic pieces generally display period-appropriate casting techniques, maker marks such as patent stamps, hand-cut materials, and signs of age-related oxidisation on the metal components.

Grouping small historical portraits on a narrow wall space or gallery display adds depth, texture, and a sense of history to contemporary rooms.

To prevent fading and material degradation, keep items away from direct sunlight, maintain stable humidity levels, and avoid using chemical cleaners on antique brass.
